Video: Although this year's installment wasn't shot in widescreen like the 2002 DVD, the full-frame image still looks really good. It was apparently shot on DV and processed in post to steer it away from having an overly 'video' look to it. It's nice and sharp, with the colors desaturated to give it more of a stylized appearance. There's some light background noise, but nothing much for me to spend another paragraph ranting about.
Audio: The default audio is a 192Kbps Dolby Digital 2.0 track, but digging into the "Special Features" menu or whacking the 'Audio' button on the remote turns up a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix encoded at a bitrate of 448Kbps.

Supplements: There are a bunch of different ways to tear through all this material. The default option on the main menu serves up a mix of performances and interviews, but the "Special Features" menu will let you view just the songs or just the bands' stories if you want. There's also a jukebox that'll serve up a particular song. There are 25 minutes worth of interviews incorporated into the movie, but there are also lengthier chats with Andrew W.K., The Ataris, Face to Face, Kevin Lyman, Mad Caddies, Mike Frazier and Neal Hendrix, Pennywise, Rick Thorne, Simple Plan, Slick Shoes, S.T.U.N., and The Used available as extras. These extended interviews are feature-length themselves, adding up to right at 105 minutes total, so...yeah, a lot more. "Lisa Johnson's Warped Tour Photo Gallery" has nine minutes of automatic cycling pics, both of the crowds, on-stage performances, and the bands goofing around between sets. Instead of just showing one shot after another, there's some zooming and panning to liven things up a little. A bunch of plugs -- the art of Robert Williams, Kung Fu Films, and a few web links -- round out the extras.
Conclusion: Although I don't think the 2003 Warped Tour offered one of the stronger line-ups of the decade-old tour, there's enough good music from a variety of different bands to make this disc worth the pretty modest price tag. Recommended.
